she said 'man that's the same old thing I heard before'

I have no clean clothes, and there's nothing to eat in my house. I really need to force my life into some semblance of order...you know, clean, actually do the one of the million things on my "to do" list. I hate procrastinating. It stresses me out a ton...and yet, I continue to procrastinate, because the thought of doing any of the things I need to do...stresses me out. Horribly vicious cycle.
The other day as I was driving to school, I decided that I needed to straighten my life around. I felt confident in that way that you (or at least I) only feel when you're in a spectacular mood, driving in your car, and listening to Three Dog Night. Then I got home, watched The Simpsons, didn't do homework and got in a brief fight with my boyfriend, via phone...possibly even less pleasant than getting into fights in person. At least in person you can like, throw things, and storm off, and hug and stuff. Not that this was a throwing things and storming off kinda fight, it was actually not even really a fight. And we're find now and...anyway, back to the point: [procrastination works it's magic again] I think the trick might be in forcing yourself to realize and actually believe that even if you feel like crap, once you finish doing whatever you've been procrastinating about, you'll feel better. At least that's my working theory. Once I get my clothes washed, my homework done, the newsletter written, and my room cleaned, I'll get back to you.

  1. singin' hey nah nah nah nahh nahhhh nahhhh,

    procrastination stresses me out to the max. it actually kind of paralyzes me. the one thing that helps me DO stuff is by convincing myself that i want to do it. if you think logically, you don't actually HAVE to do anything. You don't HAVE to do schoolwork becauase you don't HAVE to do well in school-- in fact, you don't even HAVE to go to school! but the thing is that you WANT TO. Same thing with working out. I feel like I have to, but I don't. I WANT TO WORK OUT. Mind trickery helps. Attempt it (well... it's not always effective because my subconcious tends to be alot more belligerent than my concious decisions, but whatevskies)
